							Foreword
This manual includes all the information necessary to maintain peak product performance and maximum working time of 
the SSE 5000 portable radio, using Level 1, 2, and 3 service procedures. (For a description of the different levels of service,  
see  Section 3.1: “Levels of Service” on page 3-1 .) Therefore, the manual contains sections on radio specifications for UHF 
Range 2 (450–488 MHz), a general description of the SSE 5000  radio, radio alignment procedures, test equipment, service 
aids, general maintenance recommendations, procedures fo r assembly and disassembly, schematics, board overlays, 
parts lists, and service procedur es down to the component level
.
For information on user operation of the radio, refer  to the applicable publications available separately (see “Related 
Publications” on page vii ).
